Reagans Journey began in an effort to provide

financial assistance to families caring for special

needs children since insurance programs frequently

only cover a portion of the expenses incurred.

Beyond the everyday expenses, many of our chil-

dren require care at specialized facilities that are not

regionally located, spiraling the financial costs be-

yond reach. In response to these needs, Reagans

Journey has established an individualized account

for each child, ensuring that 100% of the donations

made to them are isolated for their use only.

Donations made for general use help underwrite

the cost of programs such as this conference and are

never taken from the individual accounts.

If you would like more information about

Reagans Journey, please visit our website. If you

would like to make a donation, you may do so on the

website or by mailing it to the address below. Please

indicate if it is to be used to sponsor a particular

child.
